Yes, the F.G.M. was on the original tag. I'll send the Hutschmuck out in today's mail. PM me the address.

Justin, I'd recommend it. Not only Bob make you a great hat, working with him on the process is pure fun.

Bob knows how to crease a hat exactly how you want it. I am really impressed by how helpful, kind, and precise they are with their products and customers. Black Sheep Hat Works really goes the extra mile to make the client happy.

Garrett, that's beautiful. It looks soft, though the original listing you posted described it as stiff. I'd never believe it was a woolie from the pics!

It took approx 6 months.... but it gave us time to discuss the details, like the lowered crown, and the wind trolley, etc..... and remember, good things come to those that wait.... :thumb:

Hello, I don't get on here often, but I have a love of hats. Is Black Sheep Hat Works still in business? I've called at least six times and no answer. I emailed once and I've left two voicemail messages, and no response at all! I appreciate a great hat & I own several Optimo hats. I thought I might give these guys a try, but if they don't answer the phone and won't return messages, what can I do? Oh well, I'm sure Optimo will appreciate the additional business.

Bob will certainly get back to you; it might take him a day or two, but he's really very good about answering calls. More than that, once you start working with Bob, you'll find that the experience is really fun. He's a man-man shop, so his lead time is a bit long at times, but you'll get out of it a hat that will put an optimo to shame. I own an Optimo and a Black Sheep; I'll keep my money with Black Sheep.
